Beginner Magic

Ball & Tube - £3.99
Skill Rating: Easy
A classic pocket trick brought up to date. The magician displays a small brass tube and a miniature crystal ball, which sits squarely on top of the tube. Even in the hands of the spectator, it is clear that the ball will not fit inside the tube. That is, until the magician stares into the crystal and begins to concentrate. With the power of his mind alone, the magician causes the ball to descend into the tube slowly, until it is completely inside the tube! At the conclusion of the trick, the ball rises back to the top of the tube and both pieces can be handed out for examination. This version of the venerable Ball & Tube trick has special design features that allow spectators to casually inspect the ball and tube while the gimmick is in place! The crystal ball adds flair of the mysterious, and the improved design makes for more deceptive handling. No sleight of hand required.

Chinese Sticks - £12.00
Skill Rating: Easy
Many people in the magical arts consider learning to perform certain effects as a historical right of passage in the process of becoming a serious student of magic. The Chinese Sticks is one of these effects. Yet, it is easy to learn, simple to perform and a treat for the audience to watch.Two sticks looking like magic wands are both held in one hand and displayed to the audience. One stick has a long length of cord hanging from one end. The other stick has a very short length of cord hanging from it. When the short cord is pulled, it appears to stretch and becomes long. But at the same time, the long cord on the other stick becomes short. The audience believes the cords are connected through the back of the sticks. But the sticks are separated showing there is no connection. Now the audience is really puzzled. Again the short cord is pulled and becomes long, while the long cord becomes short. Eventually both cords become long. Then both cords become short. And finally one stick again has a long cord and the other stick has a short cord.The Chinese Sticks measure 9¼ inches long by ½ inch diameter. The bright golden coloured cords and tassels are held by red beads and contrast nicely against the black and white wand. You receive two Chinese Sticks and instructions.

He opens the case and removes a card, say the Nine of Diamonds. He declares that he will insert this card inside the card case over the rest of the cards. He states that he will replace the case inside the box, and cause the Nine of Diamonds to penetrate the whole deck, the case, and the box and drop out. His actions follow his words. But nothing seems to happen.Confused, he turns the box over and to everyone's surprise the entire deck of cards have disappeared, leaving the box completely empty!!!You can, instead of making the deck of cards disappear; change it into a matchbox, a silk or a miniature deck. This is very easy to do, and extremely baffling. Comes ready to work, with instructions.

Wonderfool Box (Plastic Version) - £3.99
Skill Rating: Easy
A small clear treasure chest like box is shown. The box has a small slit in the lid like a moneybox, but has no apparent way of getting anything out. Any object can be given to the magician, even items that will not fit into the slit, and the magician can place them inside the box. Spectators can be challenged to open the box and retrieve their item in five minutes, however they find this impossible. To the frustration of the spectator, the magician effortlessly removes the item.

I like this trick a lot, it has to be one of my best 'sucker' tricks. Because even though the spectator has seen how the box opens, they still can't get it open! The box stands up to very close inspection.
